Best Roblox Games to Try and Play in 2020 – Including Most Popular Ones

This Lego-like sandbox game retains around 70 million active players every month. Over 2 million users are content-makers who produced over 11 million titles within Roblox. Let’s take a look at the most remarkable games created on the platform over the years to see what opportunities for game development and players Roblox provides.

What is Roblox?

Roblox is a massively multiplayer sandbox game with the in-game economy and gamified development kit. It lets anyone build new worlds and set any rules within them to make them playable. By sharing their creations, players get virtual credits that become convertible into real USD if a game is successful.

Let’s now see some of the best Roblox games created followed by the most popular ones with the most players:

1) Phantom Forces

Sylis Studios created this 1st-person multiplayer shooter with influence from Call of Duty and Battlefield series. You can play 4 different force classes with specific skills and tactics purposes.

There are classic competitive modes, such as King of the Hill, Capture the Flag, and Deathmatch, together with a big pack of maps.

Developers don’t hesitate to experiment with gameplay, so they frequently introduce new locations, weapons, and progression elements. Phantom Forces is our favorite Freepps.top game to blow the steam off in Roblox.

2) Ghost Simulator

Have you ever thought that catching ghosts with a vacuum cleaner could be immersive? Guys from BloxByte implemented this idea brilliantly.

Their fantasy RPG offers you to explore the vastness of forests, fields, towns, deserts, and junkyards all inhabited with charming little ghosts.

You have to clear areas to level up and add a new specimen to your collection. Some of them are too powerful to confront them solo, so you can summon your friends and enjoy cooperative hunting.

3) Mad City

Mad City is like a light version of Grand Theft Auto Online with superheroes. You can choose to play criminals, the police, and superheroes.

You won’t meet any NPCs here, meaning that all fights will be tough. Everyone can carry 4 weapons, including SMGs, sniper rifles, shotguns, explosives, and cold steel, so you never know what tactics your enemies choose next time. We recommend you to play it with a gang of friends and enable voice chat to make it as epic as possible.

4) Haunted Hunters

This one seems to be one of the darkest new games that we found in Roblox, and one of the most challenging.

It’s a cooperative shooter in which 5 players have to hunt one dangerous ghost before it manages to kill them one by one.

Don’t forget to recharge laser guns to keep spirits distant. When they get close, they restore stamina by stealing your soul away like a dementor from Harry Potter. It becomes even more fun when it gets to swapping the roles. You can play the ghost against everyone!

5) Theme Park Tycoon 2

A direct analogy with the Rollercoaster Tycoon and Planet Coaster series is evident here, but it doesn’t make Theme Park Tycoon 2 less fascinating. It was created for cooperative constructing of theme parks and economic management.

This means that you have to discuss strategy and make agreements upon specific development steps. It’s an excellent virtual challenge for friendship. When the work is done, you can invite people to your park and hang out together.

Most Popular Roblox Games

Now let us discuss the most popular games in Roblox which have accumulated the most plays (visits) over the years.

MeepCity

If you choose to play as a criminal, the game starts with you in prison, where you, together with your friends can plan an escape. It is the work of the law enforcement officers to try and foil all your attempts to escape.

However, if you do manage to escape, the game doesn’t, end there, in fact it opens up a whole new world away from jail. Here you get to plan and execute the most daring and exciting heists with the cops hot on your heels.

The game is made up of a murderer, a sheriff and innocents. The main goal of the murderer is to kill everyone in the game while avoiding being killed by the sheriff.

The innocents on the other hand do their best to survive each round while using their detective skills to help the sheriff find the murderer. Only the sheriff can eliminate the murderer.

In this popular Roblox game, players start by choosing between being cops and criminals. The main objective of the police officers is to keep prisoners from escaping the prison.

To get this done, cops are equipped with a variety of weapons including guns. The police also have the right to shoot prisoners in order to keep them from escaping.

However, cops that kill too many prisoners may turn into criminals; and therefore be locked up as prisoners.

The main objective of prisoners on the other hand is to escape jail, and then return to free their friends who are still locked up.

Escaping the prison opens up a whole new world for prisoners as they are marked as criminals and can get their hands on a number of weapons which can be used to free their friends in jail.

Flee the Facility

This game introduces players to an intense world of survival, in which they are in a constant struggle to outrun the Beast.

In the game, one of the characters is a murderer trying to kill everyone else. The other players in the game must outrun the killer, working together to open various escape routes. Flee the Facility debuted on Roblox back in 2017.
